Islamic Relief is planning to assist an additional 5,000 Haitian earthquake victims, through food, water and tent distributions.

2 million people need food aid in Haiti, and only 400,000 are receiving the proper nutrition. Also, 1.5 million Haitians are homeless, and about one million still need temporary shelter.

Islamic Relief USA launched a $2.5 million appeal, and is housing 1,200 quake victims in Port-au-Prince.
